Fiber helps you feel full longer and supports healthy digestion. They also provide carbohydrates, but with fiber, they tend to digest more slowly than refined carbs. For heart health, they have very low sodium (about 24mg per 100g) and no cholesterol. On the caution side, they still contain some saturated fat (about 0.48g per 100g) and carbohydrates (about 60.1g), so portion size matters\u2014especially if you\u2019re also eating rice or noodles in the same meal.","healthier_tips":["For balanced meals in a typical day (3 meals + 1\u20132 snacks), use mung beans as your protein + fiber base.","Portion: aim for about 1\/2 to 1 cup cooked mung beans per meal (adjust based on your rice\/noodle intake).","Pair smart: add lots of non-starchy veggies (e.g., pechay, kangkong, sayote) and a lean protein if needed, so your plate is balanced.","Watch add-ons: go easy on salty toppings and sweetened versions (some desserts use lots of sugar).","Cooking tip: soak and cook well to improve texture and make it easier to digest."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/mung-bean-seed-green-dried?agent=true"}}}
